Jeff,
<br>w/o knowing what kinda probs, here are some suggestions:
<br>-whenever possible, point the sterns to the eye of the wind
<br>-make sure the rigging is clear, no hang-ups
<br>-Have a person about at the shroud hound, and 'throw it' when you give it the heave to
<br> Should go up easy
<br>OR:
<br>use a quick release to the bungee on one of the front traps. Attach a trap line to the winch line on most cat trailers, and steady the mast side to side as someone 'cranks' it up.
<br>OR:
<br>get the system sold that steadies it for you and crank, it has a fulcrum bar for better leverage also- IMHO, NOT necessary.
<br>
<br>Good luck!<br><br>
